  • IOLblog May 4 @ 12:10 PM EDT
    Q1) Where are you in your online academic calendar? Ending or beginning a term? Or both? #IOLchat
  • bnleez May 4 @ 12:11 PM EDT
    A1: Ending the semester the first of June. But then will start intensive PD the end of June. No rest for the wicked. :) #IOLchat
  • bnleez May 4 @ 12:12 PM EDT
    I get a two-week break in July. #IOLchat
  • IOLblog May 4 @ 12:13 PM EDT
    @bnleez That is busy, indeed! What kind of PD are you doing? #IOLchat
  • bnleez May 4 @ 12:13 PM EDT
    My time management is split between assessing, planning, and learning from my PLN. #IOLchat
  • IOLblog May 4 @ 12:13 PM EDT
    @bnleez July will be here before we know it! #IOLchat #TimeFlies
  • IOLblog May 4 @ 12:14 PM EDT
    @bnleez Sounds like a great balance of activities. Any interesting ways you'll be interacting with your PLN? #IOLchat

    @IOLblog, how are you dealing with time management? #IOLchat
  • bnleez May 4 @ 12:17 PM EDT
    Sorry, not sure why it posted twice. #IOLchat
  • IOLblog May 4 @ 12:17 PM EDT
    @bnleez Fantastic! Looks like a nice platform. #IOLchat Thanks for sharing the link. :)
  • bnleez May 4 @ 12:17 PM EDT
    I am trying to make more of what we do in our professional​ learning sessions more transparent. #IOLchat
  • IOLblog May 4 @ 12:18 PM EDT
    @bnleez For me the crux of time management is organization - scheduling, prioritizing, making helpful lists ... #IOLchat
  • bnleez May 4 @ 12:19 PM EDT
    Trying to show colleagues I work with the advantages of cultivating one's PLN! #IOLchat
  • IOLblog May 4 @ 12:20 PM EDT
    @bnleez Excellent way to model what can happen and how to get there. :) #IOLchat #PLN
  • bnleez May 4 @ 12:20 PM EDT
    Absolutely. The art of prioritizing...Something I spend a lot of time thinking about. #IOLchat https://t.co/Yr3xF0vrLr

  • IOLblog May 4 @ 12:21 PM EDT
    @bnleez I think prioritizing is a critical early step -but needs to be revisited occasionally. Needs, resources etc. change #IOLchat
  • bnleez May 4 @ 12:21 PM EDT
    I think time management is something the underpins most of the discussions I have with colleagues, now thinking about it... #IOLchat

  • IOLblog May 4 @ 12:23 PM EDT
    Time management affects all parts of our lives (family, fun, leisure, etc.) not just work and school! #IOLchat
  • IOLblog May 4 @ 12:24 PM EDT
    Q2) What’s the most stressful aspect of this time of the academic year? #IOLchat
  • bnleez May 4 @ 12:24 PM EDT
    Yeah, change is all about sorting out everyone's priorities; adapting then aligning priorities around a common & individual goals. #IOLchat

  • bnleez May 4 @ 12:26 PM EDT
    A2: Finishing the year and all that it entails, and at the same time thinking about upcoming courses. The transition. #IOLchat
  • IOLblog May 4 @ 12:27 PM EDT
    @bnleez Well said - it's the transition and all the extra loose ends between terms that gets me every time. #IOLchat Distracting!
  • bnleez May 4 @ 12:28 PM EDT
    A2: And during the summer months, it is usually about PD, whether facilitating or taking a course. #IOLchat
  • IOLblog May 4 @ 12:29 PM EDT
    The summer "break" is never long enough for all of the things I have planned to do! #IOLchat #OnlineTeaching
  • bnleez May 4 @ 12:29 PM EDT
    Exactly, those loose ends...the devil's in the details. Committing to things we might have put off. #IOLchat https://t.co/nKjEQ6YkkJ

  • bnleez May 4 @ 12:31 PM EDT
    Yeah, it seems like I usually "over plan", seldom "under plan". #IOLchat https://t.co/L1HWg82YB2
  • bnleez May 4 @ 12:31 PM EDT
    Well, gotta go, thanks for the chat! #IOLchat
  • IOLblog May 4 @ 12:31 PM EDT
    @bnleez And we aren't alone. Perhaps it's part of the culture of higher ed in some way? Expectations. #IOLchat
  • IOLblog May 4 @ 12:32 PM EDT
    @Bnleez Thanks so much for jumping in! Have a great week. #IOLchat
